Every growing and ambitious tow
is composed of three elements. Thos
who work patrioticully, vigorousl
and intelligcntly for its advancement
those who are in a state of apathy q
indifference, and those who take
curious delight in discouraging tn
efforts Of others by ridicule, by per
sistent denial that any progress ca
or has been accomplished and b.
boasting Of every other town beside
their own. The last class are callc
croakers, but they are really some
thing worse, for their opposition doe
not arise simply from despondency
but from the unevinble spirit whic
will neither act itself nor suffer oti
ers to act.
On Sunday afternoon, while OIL
lpeople were enjoying the cool breeze
brought on by little sprinkle of raj
they were suddenly brought to the
nIo,,Ha.o'y iviiowed Dy u terrific claI
of thunder. The people rushed ou
into the street. DIR. John w. Orwi
and Charley Mensch of the PosT wer
seen to heel it away from the L. L
Church, where they had been stand
ling n moment before. An examina
tion showed that the bolt had struc
the church steepl5, passed dow
through the belfry, where it tore OF
several boards, then followed the raj
ters to the spouting whore all trace
of it were lost. Though scarcely
twenty feet from the building wher
it was struck, neither Mr. Orwig o
lyoung Mensch were visably effected
Though it caused bad scare 1t col
tainly was lucky escape. The dam
ago to the church was repaired by
few hours work on Monday morning
